This Atylotus was photographed on the dike of a polder, lining a saltmarsh, in north Brittany... Do you know this species? Thank you for your help. Patrick Patrick Le Mao attached the following image:  [130.1Kb] |

Femora are entirely yellow. This is not the case with rusticus. |

At least hind femora seem to be darkened at base. I have similarly colored rusticus. Frontal calli seem to be too big for fulvus. For exact ID, I need to study animal under microscope or to get picture of antennae to study relative width of 3rd antennal segment. Libor |

I agree with Libor it is not fulvus. It is rusticus or latistriatus. In the latter, the colouration of femora is very variable. But I don't see hairs on the eyes in the pictures.... Theo |
